Jurgen Klopp makes 'crazy' admission about Liverpool FC

However, he has still impressed in the Premier League this season, contributing three goals and four assists, as well as achieving an 85% pass success rate.

The 24-year-old had returned to his homeland for specialist treatment, but has now re-joined the Liverpool team and flew out to Marbella with the rest of the squad on Wednesday for a brief training camp.

"Let's just live in hope that Manchester United win the FA Cup and Ronaldo - our friend and boy Cristiano - turns up, scores a lovely little hat-trick, puts us out of our misery in the second half and lets us relax".

"The second leg against City was a very hard game, of course". But we showed our strength and were able to even win that game, too. We managed to lead 5-0 at home.

He also scored a memorable volley against Watford a year ago, which was rated as the Goal of the Season by the BBC's Match of the Day programme in May 2017. We've scored seven goals twice and five goals twice, too.

Should they emerge victorious in the Ukrainian capital, the team will take an open-top coach along Liverpool's waterside before finishing near to Liverpool's Olympia concert hall. That's really [crazy], because we aren't Barcelona, we aren't Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. And performing at such a high level is very cool.

And even Klopp himself has admitted that the Reds' run to the Champions League final has taken him by surprise somewhat. "But, after all, we've earned our place here".
